Exactly. We need a Plan B. If Trump’s enemies don’t get him, then Trump himself will say something or do something and end his chances.
Oh well. There’s always Mike Pence.
Well, I don't think "Trump could ever say anything or do something to end his chances", but the first thing an overpaid consultant will tell you is to get in in case something happens to the incumbent.
Here is the problem for DeSantis in 2024.
He. Can't. Win. He has NO CHANCE whatsoever. Why? Well, let me indulge the best-possible Ronlim fantasy scenario, and you'll see how the Meatball will still get thrown out with the trash, at least in 2024.
If Trump is f'd over by the RINOs who are in league with the Deep State, he can go 3rd party.Ron cannot, because he will want to try again in 2028.
Any party that has made the general election ballot can still swap out the candidate.
You only have to beat mail-in ballot headlines, and there are no 'sore loser' laws preventing party-swapping in Federal elections.
Given mail-in ballots in a Presidential election year won't be printed anywhere in any state until the last major-party convention affirms their President and VP candidates, Trump could either quietly trojan horse an "MAGA Party" 3rd-party all along under another name, and swap out before, let's say, Easter, when the GOP primary winner will have been decided [Trump, but indulge Ron's conundrum for a brief further moment, for the sake of "legitimate discussion" lol]; or, Trump could simply take over the Libertarian or Alliance or Constitution nomination, having quietly ensured that they had full 50-state ballot representation beforehand.
Trump could then change the name of the American Party or Alliance Party or Constitution Party to the "MAGA Party", as long as he made it before the mail-in ballot printing deadline.
That's it, that is end game.
President Trump either wins the GOP primary or goes 3rd party. And Trump can win either scenario.
Either way, the Meatball goes back in the fridge until 2028.
